Tech guys, could you look at this 1987 for me?

Hi guys, I´m thinking of picking up a mid 70s metal panel and I´m currently circling this one from 1975. Looks fairly stock and clean inside to my untrained eyes, apart from the missing bright cap, but can you guys that know your way around these things shed any light on what I´m looking at here? It does have a laydown PT, which I think many of the euro versions had stock.

Power transformer has been replaced. It’s not original.

Boards been lifted in the past.

Bright cap is missing

Both normal channel volume pots replaced

I suspect the OT has been replaced as well.

The speaker output jacks aren’t original. The jacks are stereo output and speaker outputs have never been stereo.
 
Thanks for all that, man, great to get some proper insight. I could probably live with most minor upkeep stuff in a fifty year old amp, but the transformers are something else. Especially if the OT is replaced.
 
Bet it sounds damn good wtih a JAMES TYLER plugged straight in. Probably even sound killer with just your slippers, crocs, mocs, or street shoes on for that matter but most guys prefer boots with a Marshall, JAMES TYLER guitars or not. Maybe it's worth mentioning that some JAMES TYLER guitars have boots built right into them.

I watched a video the other day that said the Caspian sea was teeming with marine life. Maybe we should go fishing!
